"I'm not here to start a career but because I want to send out a message, to evangelise and bring Jesus even here."
Standing next to the mother superior of her Ursuline order, Sister Agatha, she added: "I really didn't expect all this.
"My aim was to say that I have encountered Jesus. I have a gift and God gave me that gift and I have used it to say that God has taken nothing away from me.
"The priorities in my life are prayer, getting up early and teaching at my school. I will never give up on my vows and the greatest love of my life for a singing career."
